JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

This is the 5th year we've done this and it seems to be more popular each year. Due to work commitments, Yooper has asked if I'll step in again this year - so here's how it works!

The not so small print/Disclaimer

This exchange is a member driven event - it isn't arranged by JUB or BluMedia Admin or staff. Neither party have requested the information as part of their contract with you. By taking part and freely giving the information below, you agree that JUB, BluMedia and the individual known as 'Quasar' are saved from harm if there are any negative events resulting from you passing on personal information to fellow JUBbers.

The only leap of faith people have to make is trusting that their fellow JUBbers maintain the confidentiality.

Due to some members being a little uncomfortable in using the JUB servers to host personal details via PMs last year, this year's exchange will be done totally outside of JUB using Yahoo's email service.

In order to participate this year, either say so in this thread, or send me a PM stating you would like to be included. I will then PM you with an email address to which the following information needs to be sent:

1. Your Real name
2. Your Real Mailing Address

The list will close on November 28, 2012 and any final updates will be emailed out on November 30th 2012. This is due to most of the last posting dates to some International areas being around the 3rd - 6th December. Hopefully, this will give people enough time to post cards to International JUBbers.

As always, we expect the participants to respect the privacy of the other participants and keep the addresses and names you receive CONFIDENTIAL. Email addresses will not be included on the mail list.

There are several JUBbers that are unable to receive cards but would like to send them; those that are in this situation will get the 'send only' list. You know who you are!

Once the final update is sent out, everything is deleted from my PC and the email account will be deleted.

Re: JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

I wanna play... as a suggestion for those of you wishing to have cards but not wanting to divulge your address information I suggest a PO Box ...they can be had for six months for the low price of 14 dollars. You can even put a change of address in soon after you get the box and then the post office will deliver your PO Box mail to your home address and no one knows but you and the post office.... Just a thought...

I give out my real address because of my secret santa stalking fantasy that has yet to come true... so you Santa Bears get to stalking already...

Re: JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

Gosh have we been doing this for 5 years already? I haven't missed one yet, so you can count me. I saw the most stunning cards today. I shall buy them tomorrow. What the deal last year, there was about 30 or so wasn't there? I shall get 40 just in case.

Re: JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

Having missed ther exchange early on, this is only my third time - but PLEASE put me down for participation in this year's card exchange! This is something I truly love to do.

A suggestion, also: I think that A LOT of people miss these "sticky threads" - I know that I ALMOST NEVER notice them. You posted nearly a week ago and I am only noticing it now. May I suggest, possibly, OCCASIONALLY moving this thread (or posting a new thread which links to this one) into the general thread areas of the more important Forums (Hot Topics, CE & P, Fun & Games, C O & R, and perhaps a couple others). I'm guessing the Forums with less personal interactions, such as Celebrities, would not generate much interest. The "sticky" area rarely changes at all, so I'm guessing I'm not the only person who doesn't look there very often.

I look forward to this!

Re: JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

I'm still on the fence, unfortunately, for this year.

A lot depends on the results of the upcoming few days at work (Pre-Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and a very unusual Saturday delivery), plus the fact that I've been led to believe there might be an increase in my responsibility level at work depending on what happens over the previously mentioned days.

I'll know more early next week, depending on how well my Crystal Ball is working.

Re: JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

I have my coffee, my pen and a bunch of cards. I'm writing the first lot today so I can finish off when we get the final list next week and post the week after. Cards from Australia take forever to get anywhere.

I think in the coming year I'm going to invent glitter repellent fabric. I'm going to look like a disco ball by the end of this morning lol.

Re: JUB Christmas Card Exchange 2012

I finally got the addresses printed out on a "master list" but I'll probably be ONE OF THE LATE ONES. I have a SERIOUS deadline which probably takes me at least until the 16th - meeting it or not probably determines the structure of the entire first half of 2013. (NONE of this comes close to approaching the craziness of deadlines I used to try to meet before I took big annual trips during August, which is something I have since scuttled and abandoned.)

I should have no problem considering sending the Foreign cards a little earlier than mid-Month, but I again recklessly forgot to pick up a small supply of the needed stamps for Overseas.

It's not possible, though, to outdo the Lex style this year!! From the notes I can't tell whether they're song excerpts one-after-the-other, or whether they're mash-ups, but either/both are "up my alley" for sure. And especially mash-ups (which seldom exist anywhere in nature, even artificial human nature). Yes, I have yet to give it a listen, but I can tell it's cool...
